Seeing there is so much you can do in radio. i decided to get on GMRS, The license is $35 for 10 years and will cover ur whole family, this is my simple setup
big problem is to many unneed connector on your antenna cable as insertion losses there takes away from any gain in the antenna. buying a new correct connector on the N-type having as few as possible all add to more efficient cable coupling of your transmitter to antenna You EFI will be higher with a max of 50 watt and give your repeater more range in the end. Yes it works when all things are dry but all connection will get wet and there just more chances with yours.
I watched this, almost hit the "subscribe button" then thought, "I have too many subs to radio channels." About three seconds later I then thought, "So what's one more?" and I subscribed :) Thanks, de KA8VLW, Ken, Michigan
